OMG.... I've been on a scrapping frenzy here!!..I've hardly scrapped at all this year...then of all sudden, like buses, lots of Layouts arrive all at once!!-oOo-I've got loads of fabby Christmas memories & pics taken of my 3 boys over the years..and this one of my youngest makes me smile, (taken 10 years ago).

Here he is, fleeing from Santa, pressie in hand, pulling a funny face!!!-oOo-Over at

Love thesePrima lightbulb trinketswhich I have backed with hotp papers so that they contrast with the background papers....and a little red and white butcher's twine to hopefully make them look like fairy lights!.Thanks for peeking!Jan x

A few days ago I was sent an email to inform me that that there was a fantastic Christmas card Craft Off competition taking place at the moment run bt Moneysupermarket.com ....all of the deets of which you can find HERE. ...There is also some fabby prizes up for grabs... mini IPad and Hobbycraft vouchers. (Both of which I wouldn't mind getting my crafty little mitts on!!)

I LURVE receiving handmade cards at Christmas...and also send out Lots & Lots of handmade ones to my crafty friends....

I'm having a bit of a reindeer, twine and washi tape addiction at the mo...So here are a few simple ideas for some festive cards....

First of all...Supplies...

This is what I have used...

card blanks

butcher twine

bells

red buttons

paper doilies

washi tape

alpha stamps

Bingo Card

reindeer face (sizzix Reindeer w/antlers die)

tags (sizzix tags die)

and this is what I created with these ingredients...

Loving how you can use the washi tape, doilies etc...in a variety of different ways...so that no two cards are identical.

You can even use vintage emphera..I've used an old Bingo card for the background then added a paper doily, my reindeer (Don't forget a little red button for Rudolphs nose!!)...then finish it off with the butchers twine,tag and bells.

About Me

Hi I'm Jan from Essex, England.
I’m obsessed with all things arty and creative.
I like to experiment and dabble in lots of different crafts…..
Drawing, painting, cardmaking, scrap-booking, sewing, embroidery, rubber-stamping and I also enjoy altering items… especially vintage baby dresses, matchboxes, tins, canvasses and anything else that I can get my crafty hands on!
I also like to try out new things all the time and different styles, but I find, I'm usually drawn to shabby and vintage at the moment.
